Rejecting The Future Queen

Chapter 39

Yasmyn 's POV

Brendan followed the line of my gaze and he was quick to stand up and stop Silas from taking another step towards me. There was what looked like a verbal argument between both of them but eventually, Silas walked away and Brendan walked in to me again .

"What did he want now ?" I asked Brendan and he shrugged his shoulders .

"I thought you were on his team and was always asking me to talk to him ," I asked Brendan as I took another bite of the chicken .

"But I also promised you that I would protect you at all costs ," Brendan said and that actually brought a chill down my spine.

"Do you mean Silas is dangerous? Why would I need protection from him ?" I asked Brendan again and he realised what he just said and shook his head.

"I did not mean in the literal way . And when I say I want to protect you at all costs, that does not include the physical dangers . It also means mental pressures too . Now is not the time for him to come and ruin your mood. So this is me protecting your peace now ," Brendan told me and I couldn't understand how he could be so selfless despite having a childhood that is traumatic to many people.

Brendan and I then finished eating in peace like he wanted and headed out only to come across Jacob. And his eyes were wide as he finally spotted us.

"What is this place ?" He asked us to come straight to the point and I grabbed Jacob by his hand and took him into the diner .

"Your Majesty, " Mr . Oakridge bowed down to me and the gasp that came from Jacob was so loud that I swear everyone in this entire pack heard him .

"What the f**k!!!" Jacob screamed as he looked at me and then at everyone who is now bowing to me .

"I told you bringing him here was a bad idea!!" I screamed at Brendan .

"What happened when the girl who came earlier took you away ?" Brendan asked Jacob and Jacob looked at us like we ran away from the mental asylum .

"I swear to God if you don't tell me who you are , I am going to call the cops and reveal everything that is happening here , " Jacob said as he pulled his phone out .

Brendan's quick reflexes saved the moment as he grabbed the phone with ease and threw it at the wall . The phone smashed into a million pieces and Jacob gasped once again .

" What are you guys even doing ?! What is happening here and why are these people treating you like a Queen ?" Jacob asked me .

"What did the girl do to you , Jacob? I can only answer you if you answer that question. How did you come here and what the hell happened to that girl ?" Brendan asked Jacob .

"Well, she took me to a place where there was no one . She engaged me in small talk , then she sat in my lap . She held my head with both her hands and looked me in the eye , telling me that I would forget everything that I see here . She was creepy enough so I pushed her away and ran until I found you guys. Now would you care about explaining what is happening here ?" Jacob asked me .

"So vampire compulsion was your idea of taking care of things ?" I asked Brendan but he was deep in thoughts .

Okay wait. Why didn't the compulsion work then ?

The compulsion works fine on humans but it does not work on people with a supernatural gene in them . He could not be a vampire because he should be dead and his kind would have recognised him . Then what is he ?

I stood up and growled out loud and oddly , that made Jacob bend his knee against his will . Even he looked shocked seeing what his body was doing.

"What the f**k is happening to me ?" He asked me and I shook my head at him .

If he is a half werewolf then he would have at least shown a few wolf characteristics by now . But he did not and this is a pure case of quarter werewolf gene .

He is three parts human and one part werewolf so the wolf side that he doesn't know about is reacting when I growled . Because I am now his Queen too .

"How much do you know about werewolves, Jacob?" I asked him and his eyes went wide .

"No way ," he said but I simply shrugged my shoulders at him and watched as he shuddered with realisation .

"My grandfather told me that his mother was a werewolf and I never really bought that . I thought it was a story woven to keep me and my sister entertained . So that's actually real ?" He asked me and I nodded at him .

"And not only is that true but also , I am the Queen of werewolves. Not officially but unofficial. So you reacted to my command when I growled . Just like any regular werewolf. You carry your diluted gene you got from your great grandmother , " I told him and he groaned.

"I don't want to be a part of this . I was happy as a human . Please don't make me one of you people," Jacob said and I thought he was slightly overboard but I did not say a thing .

"No one can make you one of us , Jacob. You only have a quarter of the gene that we have . So by all means , do whatever you want with that information. And I don't want to be afraid of you leaking any information because you carry our gene even though it is in the slightest form . So if we go down , you are coming with us ," I told Jacob and he almost cried at that thought .

I thought Jacob was this manly person who would face things by standing in the frontb. At least that was what I thought when he dealt with his wife's extra marital affair with grace and no drama .

But now watching him break down this way tells me that he can never be a werewolf even if he wants to be one so badly.

"Just a few more days and we all shall leave . That is my promise but if you leave beforehand , then I want you to know that I have an entire army under my thumb and they would crush you before you even get the feeling that you escaped . Do you really want me to go to that length to keep you safe ? " I asked him and he shook his head at me.

"I thought you were an angel when I saw you at the diner . You were the most beautiful person I ever laid eyes on and I just wanted to talk to you. But now you are threatening me and I don't think you are an angel now , " Jacob said in a way that made me feel like laughing.

With Brendan and I walking around the pack and talking to people, the day came to an end again.

With Brendan by my side it actually feels like the days are passing by so fast that it is barely registering to me that a new day is starting and then ending without realising . I don't know if you understood what I was trying to say but I hope you just go with the flow .

.

Breadan and I reached the guest house where we also let Jacob stay but in a different room . He calmed down a little but he is still worried if he is going to become like one of us .

And I don't understand why he thinks that becoming one of us is a curse because I would rather be one of the werewolves than be one of the humans .

"Finally ," I whispered and Brendan pulled me closer to him.

A small smile was dancing on his lips and I moved closer to him , to a point that there is no space left between us. Even air couldn't pass between us .

"Is there anything you want to do?" Brendan asked me and I shook my head at him .

"I just want to sleep. The day had been so tiring and it is making me go crazy ," I told him to which he nodded and tilted his head towards the bed .

But before that , I took a quick shower and threw on a pair of comfortable clothes .

"I shall go and change my clothes and then we'll sleep together without the pillows between us ," Brendan said making me chuckle .

But somehow, I fell asleep as I waited for him. I was way too tired to even stay awake.

.

.

.

.

.

"I will scream if you take another step closer to me ," my mom said as she took the dagger and pointed it at me.

How come she cannot recognise her own child ?

"I wouldn't hurt you, I promise" I told her and yet, she doesn't trust me.

"You need to believe me when I say that I will kill you ," she said again and I cried a river .

"Don't you know me, mom? I am your favourite daughter-"

"I know who you are and I want you to get out before I kill you," she said with her eyes turning red slowly. She cut me off before I could tell her an incident that would help her recall who I am.

Her hands were trembling more with each passing second. My father was sleeping peacefully by her side. Still the least bit of idea on what is actually happening here in the room.

.

.

.

I woke up with a jolt and there was sweat covering my body. I scanned the room and realised that I am in the guest house with Brendan sleeping peacefully beside me.

Okay thank God that was a dream because something like that had happened in real life too . The day I went to see my mom, she acted like she doesn't know me and then proceeded to call me a killer .

I still remember it as bright as a day.

"What happened?" Brendan asked me as he sat up on the bed with his droopy eyes.

"Just a bad dream ," I whispered and Brendan pulled me closer to him.

"I often have them too . It's okay . You are safe and you are happy now . No one will mess with you again as long as they have me to cross before they get to you. Including the bad dreams," Brendan said making me smile a little .

But I cannot shake of the feeling of how fresh that memory seems like. As if it happened just yesterday.

After Brendan fell asleep, I slowly wiggled my way out of his grip and walked outside. I really need some fresh air but I don't want Brendan to wake up for it .

Moreover it is still midnight and I am in a pack . So there will be no danger for me if I go out for ten minutes to get some fresh air .

The entire pack feels like it is empty. Not even a single person is walking outside and I feel jealous of how well they are able to sleep .

It's been a while since I slept peacefully and not just one reason but many are contributing for that act .

I walked towards the direction where I can hear the sound of waves. I didn't hear the sound of this during the day times because people's noise overpowers it a lot.

I wasn't allowed to go to the lake because only the higher ranker officials were allowed to visit that place . And when I was here , I was a mere Omega who washed dishes for a living . So naturally, I wasn't allowed .

But what I did not see coming was for Andrews to be here . My blood boils just with the sight of him so I decided to head back before he notices but presence but his beat me to it .

"Your Majesty. What a pleasant surprise to find you here, " he said and I don't know if he said that casually or sarcastically .

"I couldn't sleep , " I told him and he nodded in understanding .

"If you don't mind, can I ask you a question?" He asked me and I nodded at him.

I hope the question is about Brendan because I have a lot to talk about it . But Andrews question caught me off guard when he asked me about it .

"What do you know about the trading between The Sundown Pack and The Moonstone Pack?" He asked me and I stared at him , with a blank expression.

"I thought that you would know considering you are the future Queen . And I wanted to ask you this question on the day of coronation but then I got information that it wad postponed. And now I have you right in front of me so sorry I couldn't resist but ask about it , " Andrews said .

And now I don't know if he asked me about it to make me a fool or if he genuinely wants to know how much I know about the Royal affairs .

Brendan was right . My personal life was indeed too much but I should have started my journey as a working Royal when I had time . And now I have no idea about how things work .

"It's okay if you don't know ,Your Majesty " Andrews said and he walked towards me with his walk calculated and precise. Just the way Brendan walks. The resemblance is uncanny.

"I can always show you what kind of relationship the Royals had with our pack regarding the trading . In fact I will tell you everything about it . How about after breakfast tomorrow?" He asked me and I nodded at him .

That sounds about right . But before he could say something we both felt the presence of someone else. And the scent made it clear that it was Brendan .

"Is everything okay ?" He asked me and I nodded at him.

"I came here because I couldn't sleep and accidentally found him here . But he was just leaving though , " I told Brendan.

The look on Andrews face was priceless as he walked away .

But the thought he planted in my mind still stayed the same way .

There is still a lot there for me to learn and I am going to make a fool out of myself if I don't keep up .

Trusting Andrews is risky but I am willing to take the risk to protect my own image.
